m4 SOCOM a big dissapointment

[XyZspineZyX]

I was looking farward to having a m4 socom in my hands and i tried it on some small maps,brilliant. It was great on automatic util i played a big open map i stuckit on single shot and looked farward to some kills. i saw a sillouete on the horizon so i shot hit and it stunned him shot again surely he must be dead but no i shoot him twice more and then as i fired my fifth and final shot he spins around and pops me one shot dead , double kill. i look on the after action screen and find it took 5 shots and it happens in train depot ghost town all over the place. now ive been a rifle man on the last recon but i find grit lacks any good rifles as they have downgraded some of my old favorites. anyway i hear new downloadable content on monday could it be true some one told me vilnius.ive got my fingers crossed

I think the M4 Socom is absolute ownage! I loved it and used it through the entire game. Burst fire is the best on it.

I love using the M4 SOCOM too but it does lack hitting power, especially at long ranges. You need to get head shots if you want to survive. In fact, if I know were going to play on a big map (ie Train Depot), I just use the 7.62 rifle, 5.56 carbine or 7.62 carbine instead. One thing I do like about the SOCOM is the fact that it's harder for your opponent to tell which direction you're shooting them from. It sounds pretty ccol too!

whaa? M4 SOCOM is silenced? cool, i'll be using SOCOM along with MG3 from now on for the smaller maps.

Can they hear you at close range or is SOCOM fully silenced?

There is a lot of socom fans on campaign an quick mission but if you have x box live you now the difference .its a lot harder to kill sum 1 with a brain rather that ai who just run at you.if you go on xbox live you will see most people will say they dont like the socom.now you see a lot of people with the vz58 or sa-80 for rifles were you used to see a lot of people with the 7.62 carbine and 7.62 rifle but they have down graded them. a lot of people swiched to sniper to use the sr-25sd.

Oh......well, i haven't tried it on Xbox Live. It does say "gaming experience may change online"....guess i should try.

I don't think the SOCOM is totally silenced but the noise is muffled. I've had several people say to me after I've killed them how they hate the SOCOM because they have a hard time figuring out where I'm shooting from. Since the SOCOM lacks hitting power, I find myself keeping it on auto much of the time to make sure I get lots of lead into my opponents before they can turn and fire back at me. The down side is, my hit % seems to suffer.

I found 3round burst very effective on campaign Elite, more effective/efficient than fully auto..... haven't tried burst rate on XBL yet though as I tend to stick it straight on fully auto!!

no point in taking any chances, jus pump'em full o'lead!

[XyZspineZyX]

Burst mode eh?

Never liked it, i played GR for many months with the MP5 and always kept in on automatic, i like 2 round burst for some reason......and no, i dont like the AN-94 (in the game, real life its awesome)

Bursts always seem inaccurate, and a waste, thats why i dont bring th M-16 unless i want to snipe

I never liked it in GR and to be honest I never use it on XBL for reasons like its just not as accurate as 3 single round shots and if I want several rounds to go off, for temporary support, then I prefer fully auto...... BUT like I say I did find it unusually accurate on campaign(ie against AI)... so much so that I regularly got 3 kills from one press of the trigger! cant argue with that!

I wouldn't recommend it, this is just for general info.

[XyZspineZyX]

Dont make me laugh. the SOCOM is for up to mid range. if your keeping distance use a sniper. like doh........!!

[XyZspineZyX]

Use the vz58. It's way better!
